BPACING DEVICE Fort 'rxrnwnr'rrxe YMAICI-IINES.

have invented'a certain new'an useful Spacingr Device for Type-Writing Machines.

present invention relates to a spacing d evice or typewri ting machines having front striking type, and having a paper'roller the height of which is adjustable,

Theobject of the present invent on is toso construct and arrange this device, in contrast with the well known constructions employed in machines of the type indicatedabove, that the device forms a comp ielilse e device thus formed as a complete whole can be readily assembled, and is also connected with the parts for receiving the in such a way that it can be readily fitted up and taken ofi". This object is arrlved at by arranging all the parts on a plate, said plate being fixed or screwed upon a slide-bearing of the pa er roller frame, or said late may be forme one piece with the slide-bearing.

One embodiment of the present invention is illustrated inthe accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 shows a side el'evation'oi" the spacing device, and Fig. 2 a plan of the same.

Fig. 3 is a front view of the plate and slide detached, Fig.4 is a plan view thereof; Fi #5 is an enlarged View showing the adjustingiar 25 and its cooperating parts; 6 is'a s e c.

tional view thereof; and Fig. 7 1sl-a ispective view taken from the rear sideof 3.

The pa er roller frame 2 together wit the paper r01 er 3,. whichis adj usta'ble in height,

are supported on the carriage '1. The paper roller ies, with its'pivo'ts 4 in slide-bearings 5 which are movable vertically in the carriage 1. On one of these slide bearings 5, preferably the'right hand one, a plate 6 is arranged, whlch is only for the purpose of receiving the separate arts of the spacing device: The s acing w eel 7 is set by means of a screw t readon the pivot 4 and is locked by a roller 8, which is carried by a spring 9. This spring 9 is fastened on the plate 6. Thus as t e p atefi and wheel 7 are carried on the bearing 5 they will move up and down with said bearing; 1 1

For the raising of the roller 8 an eccentric button 10 is provided, which is likewise revolubly mounted on the plate 6. The spacing Specification o! Letter-Q Past AppHcatim-i filed July 14, 1904. Serial No. 216,626. a

The spacing slide 1 l is moved by means of thespacing lever 17, which is supported-in bearings on the carriage frame 1, or on the plate 6. In the drawing the spacing lever 17 is mounted on the frame 1 thus the lever is stationary. ,It carries a roller 18 which acts against avertical plate 19 on the spacing slide. This pressure plate 19 is of such a size that the roller 18 always lies against the plate,

When the"paper roller is raised, the; spacing slide engages with its beveled ofi point, not

The spring 23 serves for drawing back the spacing slide into its'posi- 5 ;'In order to regulate the motion of the". spacing pawl 13, or in order to fix the distance between the lines, a shaft 25 is revolubly and slidably arranged in the guide 24 on the plate 6. The guide 24 is suitably rovided with the inclined surface 16, w ich serves for rajisi the spacing p9 wl. The shaft 25 is provi ed with a handle 26 on one side and on the other side, with,an abutment 27, ,which is so arranged on the shaft that, after being set, it is inthe ath of the micetion 15 ot the spacing aw 13. The s aft 25 is provided wit a stu 31 which is adapted to engage the notches '30 arranged in the guide '2 Y mm 24, the distance between the notches corre- I spending to one or more teeth of the escapement wheel; ;To adjust this shaft the handle 26 is turned down to an angle of 90, the

shaft adjusted to the desired position and the handle '26 returned to its original position causing: the stud 31 to engageQone of the notchesjin the guide24 and so lock the shaft in its adjusted position. The plate 6 can be 10 connects in any desired manner'with the corres 0 ding slide bearing 5, or itcan be forms in one piece with the same.
